Editorial Policy

Last updated: April 5, 2026

Our Mission

MCP Find is an independent, community-driven directory of tools, skills, workflows, and guides for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem. Our mission is to help developers discover, understand, and use MCP tools effectively, with complete transparency about our curation process and editorial standards.

Content Sources

We discover and index content from multiple authoritative sources:

  • MCP Registry: Official MCP project registry (https://modelcontextprotocol.io)
  • GitHub: Public repositories tagged with "mcp" or "model-context-protocol"
  • npm Registry: npm packages with mcp-related keywords
  • PyPI: Python packages related to MCP
  • Curated Sources: Curated lists from community members and project maintainers

Content Review Process

Automated Discovery

We continuously crawl official MCP sources, GitHub, npm, and PyPI to discover new tools. Our automated system:

  • Extracts metadata (name, description, language, license)
  • Parses README and documentation files
  • Assesses maintenance status and community engagement
  • Calculates trust and risk scores based on code quality signals

Automated Content Generation

For each discovered tool, we automatically generate:

  • Overviews: AI-generated summary of tool purpose and key features
  • Feature Lists: Extracted from documentation and code
  • Use Cases: Common applications of the tool
  • Configuration Guides: Setup and configuration instructions

For details about our AI content generation process, see our AI Content Disclosure.

Quality Checks

All automatically generated content undergoes automated validation:

  • Relevance scoring (does the generated content match the tool?)
  • Completeness checking (are major features covered?)
  • Safety filtering (no harmful, unsafe, or inappropriate content)
  • Accuracy verification (content aligns with source documentation)
  • Duplicate detection (no copy-pasting between tools)

Editorial Review

High-impact content undergoes manual review by human editors:

  • Featured Tools: Tools displayed on homepage or in featured sections
  • Popular Content: Tools with high user engagement
  • Borderline Cases: Tools near inclusion/exclusion thresholds
  • Quality Issues: Content flagged by automated checks for human decision-making

Freshness & Updates

We continuously monitor tools for updates. Content is regenerated when:

  • New releases or updates are detected on GitHub, npm, or PyPI
  • README or documentation files are modified
  • Maintenance status changes (active vs. abandoned)
  • Editorial guidelines are updated

Each tool profile displays a "Last Updated" timestamp indicating when content was last refreshed, ensuring you're viewing current information.

Corrections & Feedback

If you spot inaccurate information or have suggestions for improving a tool profile:

  1. Submit Feedback: Use the contact form on the tool page or contact us
  2. Provide Details: Explain what's incorrect and link to authoritative sources (official docs, GitHub, etc.)
  3. Review & Update: We review all feedback within 48 hours and update content if corrections are verified
  4. Community Contributions: We welcome pull requests and contributions to improve descriptions and guides

Removal Requests

If you believe a tool is listed in violation of this policy, you can request removal by contacting us with:

  • The tool name or URL
  • The reason for removal request (spam, malware, IP violation, etc.)
  • Evidence supporting your claim

Removal requests for legitimate issues are processed within 24 hours.

Independence & Conflicts of Interest

MCP Find is an independent directory operated for the benefit of the developer community. We do not accept payments for inclusion, preferential placement, or editorial coverage. Tool inclusion is solely based on merit and our editorial criteria.
